Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured adult transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston. The requirement falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and was intended for delivery in Kingston upon Thames. The buying organisation is a regional or local authority serving Kingston and related public services. The procurement concerned services rather than goods or construction works, with the requirement grouped as a single adult transport lot. This is relevant to passenger transport operators, community transport providers and other businesses able to provide transport for adults in and around Kingston upon Thames. The named requirement is concise, so interested businesses would need to examine the procurement documents for the detailed service specification and operational expectations.

The procurement has completed through an open procedure. The single lot was marked cancelled, while an active award was recorded for Zedcarz Limited. The award date was 8 October 2026 and the contract was signed on 25 August 2026. The signed contract value was £14,902.86. Seventeen bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality-related areas also listed covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome data therefore records a selected supplier and signed contract alongside the cancelled status of the lot.

This procurement shows demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for adult transport in Kingston upon Thames, with a small and medium-sized transport operator selected. A credible future competitor would need the practical capability to organise and deliver adult passenger transport reliably, demonstrate suitable staff qualifications, and address service attributes and features that matter to the buyer. Evidence from client reviews and a clear account of operational capability would support credibility, even though this competition placed all stated evaluation weight on price. The requirement may suit local or regional operators with experience of adult transport and the capacity to provide a focused service rather than large-scale construction, goods supply or unrelated professional services.
